Juicy shrimp tossed with a medley of fresh vegetables and pantry herbs, topped with a shower of feta cheese, and livened up with a squeeze of lemon, it’s exactly the recipe to freshen up (and help out!) your dinner plans for the week. The vibrancy, nutritional value, and general sensation of being surrounded by blue water have long made Mediterranean food one of my favorite genres, whether I’m dining out or cooking dinner at home. Today’s recipe is a baked riff on my classic Mediterranean Shrimp and this Mediterranean Pasta, both of which cook in one skillet. This time instead of the stovetop, we are enlisting the help of a trusty and true kitchen workhorse: the half sheet pan. From one-pan meals like Sheet Pan Chicken with Rainbow Vegetables and Sheet Pan Shrimp and Broccoli, to stellar sides like Roasted Brussels Sprouts, with our friend the sheet pan, a healthy meal is never far from grasp.
How to Make Sheet Pan Mediterranean Shrimp
Straight from the pan, this Mediterranean meal offers servings of lean protein and veggies, plus satisfaction-factor ingredients like feta, olives, and lemon. To round out the meal, serve it with brown rice or Lemon Rice for dinner, then enjoy the leftovers on top of greens the next day for a Greek-inspired salad.
The Ingredients
Shrimp. The delicious lean protein component of our meal. Shrimp cook in minutes and are packed with vitamins and minerals. Artichoke Hearts. An earthy veggie that instantly gives this dish a Mediterranean flavor and feel. Plus, they’re rich in fiber and antioxidants. Grape Tomatoes. Little, sweet pops of color and flavor. Kalamata Olives. Richly-flavored kalamata olives add to the Mediterranean flair of this dish and give it a hint of saltiness.
Red Onion. With their beautiful color and delicious taste, red onions are a fabulous addition to this recipe. Zucchini. Sweet and scrumptious. Zucchini is also rich in antioxidants and fiber. Lemon Zest + Juice. Adds brightness and acidity that emphasizes all the Mediterranean flavors. Feta. Salty, creamy feta cheese pairs wonderfully with the other ingredients in this dish. Parsley. A shower of parsley adds freshness and helps the other flavors pop.
